19. Alliance
Reina originally wanted to say that she had a theory, which was the [Gate of the Celestial Realm].
But if she brought this up, the suspicion would likely fall on Calysia.
As a competent wife, she wouldn’t be so foolish as to sell out her own master. That would be a bit too much, and she would probably be laughed at.
Moreover, their understanding of the [Gate of the Celestial Realm] was probably no better than her own.
Tris lowered her head and said:
“The one who will destroy the world is the Shadow of God, I can confirm that.”
“That’s troublesome. I can already feel the pressure from a higher being, hahaha…”
The Beast King covered his face and laughed loudly.
Indeed.
Reina had been thinking about the truth of human demonification ever since she came to this world.
She had originally thought it was a new skill of the Four Kings of the Realms, but neither the Dark Elf Queen nor the Beast King was as powerful as she had imagined, so it was unlikely they could bring about such a calamity. And she had already thoroughly figured out the dummy Calysia. Besides having an unrivaled combat ability, she didn’t seem to have any malicious intentions.
Just like before, she was very gentle.
The only ones who could do this were probably two types of people.
First, those mysterious beings who had participated in the [Gate of the Celestial Realm] and had disappeared or died.
Second, the Goddess of Light.
And Reina now seriously suspected that those people hadn’t disappeared at all, but had achieved some result and had been hiding ever since, waiting for an opportunity. And as long as she could solve their puzzle, she would surely get a glimpse of the truth of this world.
Sophia frowned slightly: “Let’s assume that the mysterious organization that suddenly appeared has immense power and the ability to change the world, but has always been hiding behind the scenes and has never taken action. What could possibly be the catalyst for their actions?”
“Hahaha, you mean to say that one of us is harboring the Shadow of God?”
“The Shadow of God, an organization that has been active since a month ago,” Reina stroked her chin.
“Let’s all talk about which places have been attacked.”
“Our armory was robbed. Although there were no serious losses, we did lose a few Goddess’s Treasures,” Court Statue nodded, showing no intention of hiding anything. “We orcs have been harassed many times, there’s no reason to harbor them.”
“The church has been attacked multiple times…” the Saintess raised her hand and said.
Sophia shook her head:
“We haven’t had any issues, but we are now a vassal of the dragon race, so there’s no possibility of such small actions.”
“I am the instigator of this crisis, so I am naturally cleared of suspicion.”
The Dark Elf Queen said, and at the same time, everyone looked at Reina.
Melancholy Statue sneered:
“Miss Azure Scale, who has only recently become active, it seems your suspicion is the greatest, isn’t it? Your activity time is very similar to the Shadow of God’s.”
As he spoke, the Colossi and the Princes all looked at Reina with shocked expressions, as if they had already determined that she was the sinner of the Shadow of God.
Just then, Calysia released her pressure.
Instantly, the iron chair Reina was sitting on became scorching hot, and the large light attribute bell shattered from the mere pressure of her aura. The mechanisms throughout the castle let out a mournful cry as if under some immense pressure, the earth began to tremble, and everyone felt as if they were on a sinking ship.
For a moment, everyone except Reina was affected.
They couldn’t move, and even speaking became difficult.
Even the Beast King broke out in a cold sweat, marveling at the dragon before him, truly worthy of the name of the strongest creature.
Tris’s face turned pale. It had been a long time since she had felt this kind of primal fear.
If an ordinary human were to pass through here, they would surely feel a pain worse than death from this immense pressure. Even if they could wake up in an instant and escape, they would have to spend the rest of their lives in a wheelchair.
Calysia held Reina’s waist, letting the cute dragon girl lean against her, their thighs pressed tightly together. Reina could clearly feel her heat, even though her voice was so cold.
“Do I need to go through so many twists and turns to kill you?”
“Reina is my wife. Anyone who approaches will die.”
In an instant, Calysia released her pressure, and everyone recovered.
Reina lowered her head, feeling like her face was a toaster.
So strong…
Although it wasn’t the first time, feeling this sense of security, she couldn’t help but develop a fondness for Calysia.
The feeling of being pampered by the final boss, of being seen as the Dragon King’s wife… and even being pregnant with her dragon egg.
This way, she would definitely be able to protect me… no, protect the dragon egg.
—Reina gradually realized something was wrong.
She was developing feelings for Calysia simply because of the dragon egg. But she didn’t want to reject this warm feeling.
I like it♡
Reina didn’t know how to praise Calysia, so she just gently licked Calysia’s hand… it seems this is also fine?
“Reina can’t possibly be a traitor.”
After the pressure was released, Ann stepped forward. At this moment, to avoid being recognized by Agnes, she had changed her nun’s habit to the white robe of a Demon Moon, symbolizing her identity as [No-Scale Heavenly Moon].
“Even if she is, we will fight to the end.”
Shining Scale Liya touched the hilt of her sword.
White Scale also bared her teeth.
But at this moment, they had already lost any thoughts about Reina.
Calysia was probably the only one present who could fight against the Goddess of Light.
“Everyone, no need to be so tense.”
The Dark Elf Queen sighed. Her already weak body had only now recovered from Calysia’s pressure. She clutched her chest and said:
“I also believe that Reina is on our side.”
“Frankly, I was suspicious of her identity from the beginning.”
“But after talking with her, I realized that she’s not a two-faced villain.”
“Yes, that kind of cunning and deceitful person is probably only found among humans.”
Court Statue said with a smile:
“I was rude, Miss Azure Scale. I think that instead of suspecting you, the humans are more suspicious.”
“We humans are the biggest victims!”
The Saintess immediately retorted, as if she would slam the table and stand up in the next second.
The werewolf behind Court Statue, the Beast King’s right-hand man, and also another colossus, stepped forward, exhaling a hot breath:
“Don’t use ‘humans’ to represent you all. I only know that the factions within your human race can be divided into countless groups. Even when on the verge of extinction, you’re still concerned with power struggles!”
“It’s probably you people who caused this!”
The Saintess wanted to continue arguing, but she knew that the other side had more people and power, so she could only swallow her anger and wait for the final result.
“Tris, why don’t you make a prophecy?”
The Beast King looked at the pensive Dark Elf Queen and urged.
“No need…”
Tris shook her head.
“Whether it’s humans or us demons, what we should consider now is uniting.”
“The destruction of the world is not your fault or mine.”
“No matter what the outcome, we cannot be sacrificed in vain by the Shadow of God.”
“Now, I propose that we form a temporary alliance.”
“Strictly speaking, what I prophesy isn’t the future, but the calculation and simulation of countless possibilities.”
“As long as we work together, we can deal with the Shadow of God.”
